"That would be impossible. The truth has a point. If the universe is pointless and “has no meaning”, then you couldn’t trust your own conclusion about anything."

That makes absolutely no sense what so ever.

If the universe is pointless, then your thoughts are pointless. It would therefore be impossible to “make a point.”

[[That makes absolutely no sense what so ever.]]

It makes sense. In a universe with purpose, we can find meaning. In a universe without purpose, there is no meaning to anything. Any conclusion would be just as meaningless and pointless as any other.

Neither did your question in post 51 : Assume for a second that the universe is "pointless" and there is no "meaning of life". Would you rather accept the truth or live in a delusion?

If there were no meaning or point to anything, what difference would it make?

If there were no meaning or point, would there be any *truth*? And what would *truth* be?
